I’m having a hard time finding my grandfather and grandmother on a passport or ship list. They came from Sao Miguel and their names are Quitao de Souza aka Caitano Souza, and his wife was Maria Ferreira Souza. I do know they came to Hawaii in 1883. I’m still trying to find if their names are on the ship list.
Gail Souza Dias Elizares From: azores@googlegroups.com [mailto:azores@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Sonia Pacheco Sent: Thursday, September 22, 2011 6:54 AM To: azores@googlegroups.com Subject: [AZORES-Genealogy] Passport/passenger list question Please reply directly to me, thank you. I am currently doing some research on illegal emigration from Portugal to the United States during the time period (roughly) between 1890-1910. If you had a relative who emigrated during this time period and you have either their passport but not their name on a passenger list OR you have found their name on a passenger list but have not found their passport, can you please email me directly? I am only trying to compile some rough numbers regarding how many people may have travailed illegally from Portugal to the United States. My research has shown, so far, that many individuals were not aware that they were even traveling illegally or that they were aiding illegal travel!
